Dear Mr. Fairman:
Coleen H. Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
A fast track application for Authorization to Construct dechlorination facilities was
received on November 5, 2007, by the Division. Authorization is hereby granted for the
construction of modifications to the existing Pleasant Ridge WWTP, with discharge of treated
wastewater effluent into Little Troublesome Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin.
This authorization results in no increase in design or permitted capacity and is awarded
for the construction of the following specific modifications:
Installation of a dechlorination system utilizing sodium sulfite pursuant to the fast
track application received on November 5, 2007, and in conformity with the
Minimum Design Criteria for Dechlorination Facilities.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III, Paragraph A of
NPDES Permit No. NC0065412 issued April 21, 2006, and shall be subject to revocation unless
the wastewater treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and
limitations specified in Permit No. NC0065412.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may
be required by this Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater
treatment or disposal facilities.
